TrueArt
after i stopped making art fifteen years ago i became interested in whether there was a space between making art and being an artist as such. i found i was still having lots of ideas for artworks but no interest in executing them. (in this way being an artist is very different to being a baker for example since what is the point of a baker who never actually bakes any bread but only has ideas about bread?) i had an idea for a work which i offered to the unsound festival, actually a series of works called TrueArt. this particular piece was a live video/sound feed of a 1960s plastic clock (made in japan) on my mantlepiece at home in wagga wagga that they could project on screens and/or the sound of which could be incorporated by other artists in their performances.
the curator thanked me very much but said no — i think her actual words were why don't you just fuck off but that was as much to do with her being my ex-girlfriend as the quality of the idea.
and now i find that TrueArt has been patented. i guess it was only a matter of um ... time?
